Windows 10 update issue - camera

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I would require more information to help you better.

What is the make and model of the camera?

I would suggest you to make sure the camera is installed properly and listed under Device Manager.

Follow these steps:

• Press “Windows key + X” from keyboard.
• Select “Device Manager” option from the list.
• Check if the Camera is listed in the devices list.

If it is not listed then the Camera driver is not installed. I would suggest you to run “Hardware and Devices” troubleshooter to diagnose and fix the issue.

If the camera is listed in the device manager, then perform the following troubleshooting methods:

Method 1:

You may try running the Hardware and Device troubleshooter and check if it helps.

a. Press Windows Key +R, type Control Panel.

b. Type troubleshooting in the search bar, click on troubleshooting.

c. Click on Hardware and Sound, click on Hardware and Devices.

d. Follow the steps from the wizard to run the troubleshooter.

Method 2:

If that doesn’t work, then I would suggest you to perform troubleshooting steps from the link “What
to do if you have problems with an app” to diagnose and fix if the issue is with Camera app.

Method 3:

If this doesn’t fix the issue, I would suggest you to uninstall the camera from Device Manager then reinstall it and then check if this fixes the issue.

Follow these steps:

• Press “Windows key + X” from the keyboard.
• Select “Device Manager” option.
• Search for Camera, then right click and select “Uninstall”.
• Then restart the computer.
• Download the latest driver from the Manufacturer’s website and install it.

Please do let us know if you need any further assistance related to Windows, we will be glad to assist you.

External devices not working with windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

In order to help you better, could you please confirm a couple of things:

• What is the make and model of the digital camera?
• What happens exactly when you try to install the iCloud?
• Are you getting any error message?

I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

Method 1: Hardware and devices troubleshooter.

Plug the device and run the hardware troubleshooter. Once this is done,
restart the computer and check the status.

Follow these steps:

1. Press the ‘Windows + W’ key on the keyboard.

2. Type troubleshooting in the search box and then press
enter.

3. Click hardware and sound and run the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter.

4. Follow the On screen instructions. Once this is done, restart the computer and check the status.

Method 2: I suggest you to update Windows 10 compatible drivers/software from the digital camera manufactures website, if they are available.

If it is not available then you may install the drivers in compatibility mode from the previous version of Windows and check if it helps.

Method 3: Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.

Follow the steps below.

1. Right click on Start and select Device Manager.

2. Click the plus (+) icon next to "Universal Serial Bus controllers" to expand this selection.

3. Locate the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. If this entry is displayed without a down arrow, "!" or "?" symbols over it, then this driver is successfully installed.

• If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver isn't listed, continue to "If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed." Then follow steps in the link below. (Follow steps for Windows 8).

If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
